Here and here are sample sourced arguments for you to look at "foregrounding the argument"; here is a sample piece that shows excellent transitions (though it is an argument of inquiry, not a position paper)
Also, here is that checklist for the sourced argument. Friday 25 February: Proto-Modernism: Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio; "The Book of the Grotesque"; "Hands" Monday 28 February: "Hands," "Tandy" due Tuesday 1 March: "The Strength of God" due Wednesday 2 March: Hot seat closes for the Sourced Argument paper; more activities with "The Strength of God" Thursday 3 March: Sourced Argument paper due; Eliot: "Prufrock" in class Friday 4 March: No class; First Friday Mass Monday 7 March: Hemingway's "Soldier's Home" due Tuesday 8 March: ""Big Two-Hearted River," Part I, due Wednesday 9 March: "Big Two-Hearted River," Part II, due; short story assignment made. For Anderson, choose "Paper Pills," "The Teacher," or "Sophistication"; For Hemingway, choose "Battler," "The End of Something," or "The Three-Day Blow"; alternative assignment is to memorize "Prufrock" in full Thursday 10 March: Begin As I Lay Dying in class Friday 11 March: Rhetorical Terms #3 Test Wednesday, March 23: Small Portfolio due (2 pieces + reflective memo) Please complete one full sample test from 5 Steps to a 5 (on paper) and hand in your work by the end of March. Please take this sample test in one sitting--you will need to schedule it on your family calendar so you have the full three hours to complete this assignment. If desired, I can make an evening or a Saturday session. Comments are closed.
